Hachido-Kai

I’m a kickboxing coach with Hero Martial Arts, as well as a private coach and event organiser through Hachido Kai. Martial arts has been a lifelong passion of mine - whether it’s kickboxing, freestyle taekwondo, kungfu, karate, boxing, Japanese jujitsu, or even a little muay thai. I also have a love for martial arts history, with a particular interest in Bartitsu.

As a coach, my mission is to help people grow braver and more confident—not only by learning techniques, but by stepping into controlled, light, and fun sparring. I believe sparring is where martial artists truly come alive, testing skills in a supportive way that builds courage as much as ability.

While I enjoy exploring different styles, I’m also old-fashioned in many ways, valuing tradition, respect, and etiquette - the budo way. My approach blends Eastern and Western martial arts, with an emphasis on fitness, conditioning, competition, and personal growth.
